Chapter 435: 0436 Shan Shan Arrives Late (Celebrating One Million Words!)

"It is said that Ye Qiu had fought with the SSS-level mutant, Adam, and killed him. Afterward, the two SSS-level mutants, Bai Xiong and Ju Lu, personally sought to hunt him down, resulting in one dead and one missing."

"Just how strong is Ye Qiu really?" Many in the martial arts world were aware of Ye Qiu’s deeds in the underworld. Some martial artists who came to witness the grandeur of the Ten Owls heard discussions about Ye Qiu and couldn’t help but join the conversation.

When Meng Pengxiao overheard these words, he couldn’t hide his laughter and said to the young martial artists discussing, "Don’t exaggerate Ye Qiu too much. If he had killed an SSS-level mutant, wouldn’t he return to tally his merit points?"

"From what I see, it’s all rumors. Who actually saw Adam being slain by Ye Qiu? Even if Bai Xiong and Ju Lu acted later, it’s impossible they were killed or injured because of Ye Qiu. There definitely must have been someone else who intervened, how could it possibly be Ye Qiu? If he was that powerful, why didn’t he challenge the top ranked Huangfu Jun back then?" Meng Pengxiao’s words left the other martial artists unable to respond; they couldn’t refute him as his points seemed rather valid.

Seeing that the others fell silent, Meng Pengxiao proudly turned away, having been defeated by Ye Qiu previously. However, his skills had significantly improved since then, which was why he felt confident discussing Ye Qiu’s limitations.

After a while, Huangfu Jun appeared.

Thereafter, Huangfu Jun, Feng Jian, Luo Tie, Chen Taiji, Li Futu, and others had all gathered. Except for Ye Qiu, it seemed all the new members of the Ten Owls had arrived and all eyes were on them, making them the center of attention.

There was still one hour before departure.

Another half hour passed and Daoist Qian Zhen along with many martial arts seniors walked out of the grand hall toward the crowd.

"The time is about right, we can set off," said Daoist Qian Zhen, glancing over the Ten Owls.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Ten Owls were somewhat excited, with Meng Pengxiao being the most evident. He was fortunate to have the opportunity to witness the Martial Inscription Wall, a legendary martial arts stela deemed critically important even by his family elders. What mattered most to him was that Ye Qiu, his most bothersome competitor, was absent and would miss this opportunity. Ye Qiu could very well fall far behind everyone.

"Once I comprehend the inscriptions, Ye Qiu, you will regret missing this chance," Meng Pengxiao thought proudly.

Li Futu and Lei Ting Feng Jian stood together, the two appearing relatively calm.

The quietest of all was Huangfu Jun. As the primary Owl, even though he had received the best martial arts secret manual after the Ten Owls Challenge, his expression remained unchanged.

Secret manual rewards were already expected; according to the ranking, each of the new Ten Owls would receive a secret manual of varying degrees. Only Ye Qiu had not returned to claim his manual. As for the others, they had long since perused the content of their received manuals.

Meng Pengxiao’s received secret manual was more valuable than the one designated for Ye Qiu, thus he currently held no fear towards Ye Qiu.

"Why is one person missing? There are only nine!" Daoist Qian Zhen quickly realized the Ten Owls were incomplete, currently, only nine were present.

"Master, Ye Qiu has not yet arrived," Tang Yao stepped forward and said.

"Ye Qiu!" Daoist Qian Zhen’s tone paused briefly, then Elder Jin appropriately added, "Is it that interesting young man who doesn’t want this chance to see the Martial Inscription Wall?"

The Martial Inscription Wall was not for everyone to view, only the ten most outstanding martial artists qualified.

If Ye Qiu was not coming, that meant he was automatically forfeiting, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that others would desperately vie for. If he missed it, it would truly be a pity.

No one knew what was happening with Ye Qiu or if he was on his way. After discussing amongst themselves, Daoist Qian Zhen and Elder Jin decided to wait half an hour. If Ye Qiu did not arrive on time, then it would be his own fault.

"Ah, this young man, not even returning to tally his merit points, could something unexpected have happened?"

The seniors from the northern and southern martial arts sects began to lament. Then, a person stood up.

"Honorable seniors, brother Ye Qiu will definitely come. He didn’t return to tally his merit points because he was jointly attacked by SSS-level mutants. If the honorable seniors would patiently wait a little longer, he will surely appear," he said.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Meng Chong, who had spoken. Though they didn’t say anything, Meng Chong’s words gave them food for thought.

Meng Chong’s statement not only explained why Ye Qiu hadn’t tallied his merit points, but also revealed information that Ye Qiu had returned to China and had even met with Meng Chong, or else how could Meng Chong say such things?

Upon hearing this, Meng Pengxiao’s face showed surprise, then quickly soured. "Everyone’s only waiting for him, does Ye Qiu think too highly of himself?"

His words were clearly inciting, but as for the martial arts seniors, they didn’t take it to heart. They were actually quite interested in this young man Ye Qiu, who had shocked them several times during the Ten Owls Challenge.

However, when these words reached the ears of some, their meaning seemed to morph, suggesting Ye Qiu was being overly pretentious.

Among the Ten Owls, aside from Fang Yizhou nodding in agreement with Meng Pengxiao’s view, the other seven showed no reaction.

After all, in the eyes of the majority, Ye Qiu was a formidable guy who possessed the strength to enter the top three of the Ten Owls, only Meng Pengxiao disagreed, and he was actively trying to target a person who had not yet arrived.

Time flew rapidly, and only the last few minutes remained before Daoist Qian Zhen prepared to lead everyone towards the Martial Wall.

Meng Pengxiao let out a proud laugh, as Ye Qiu had not appeared yet, which meant that after he returned from the Martial Wall and underwent a period of seclusion, he could dominate over Ye Qiu. He was filled with anticipation for the Martial Wall, believing that if Ye Qiu missed it, he, Meng Pengxiao, could definitely stand above Ye Qiu.

Daoist Qian Zhen and others, like Chen Yifeng, who had a good impression of Ye Qiu, all sighed regretfully for him.

"This kid, he only has this one chance," Chen Yifeng said, hitting his chest in frustration and feeling sorry for Ye Qiu.

However, an elder from Meng Pengxiao’s family spoke up, "If some people don’t value it, why waste time on it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yifeng and a few others looked over coldly and, while they didn’t say much, it was evident that this elder from the Meng family had no fondness for Ye Qiu.

"What a pity he missed this opportunity!" Li Futu sighed.

"It appears that in the future on the path of martial arts, I’ll have one less opponent worthy of respect," Feng Jian murmured.

Just as everyone was feeling sentimental and Meng Pengxiao was basking in his smugness, a figure leaped onto Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The first to sense Ye Qiu’s aura were Daoist Qian Zhen and an old man named Jin, followed by Ren Hesheng and Chen Yifeng, who also directed their gazes towards him.

Suddenly, seeing several martial arts predecessors looking in one direction, both the Ten Owls and other Martial Artists present also turned their heads to look.

Ye Qiu!

Meng Pengxiao’s eyebrows furrowed immediately; he had not expected Ye Qiu to show up at the last moment, turning his joyful mood into gloom.

Ye Qiu slowly walked up to the group, saw many familiar faces, and cupped his fists, "Apologies everyone for keeping you waiting so long, I hope the seniors won’t take it amiss."

"No worries," Daoist Qian Zhen said with a smile, appreciating this young man. After giving Ye Qiu a quick look, he was amazed to find that the young man had reached the late peak stage of True Qi.

That strong and nearly perfect aura, in his legendary eyes, Ye Qiu’s level was transparent at a glance.

"It looks like Yao’er is no match for him," Daoist Qian Zhen glanced at his disciple Tang Yao, instantly recognizing the gap between Tang Yao and Ye Qiu.

Perhaps only that young man from the Huangfu family could compare with Ye Qiu now.

This young man, who went abroad to hunt mutant beasts for a month, what on earth did he experience? Why did he advance from the late stage to the peak in just over a month?

If he had this speed of breakthrough, he could have stepped into the legendary realm thirty years ago!

This kid is truly exceptional.

Countless thoughts flashed through Daoist Qian Zhen’s mind. He then turned to the group: "Now that all the Ten Owls are here, let’s set out."

Ye Qiu stood before the other nine Owls, smiled slightly, and lastly his gaze fell on Meng Pengxiao, scaring Meng Pengxiao into hurriedly turning his head, his heart skipping a beat, thinking to himself, "Did he hear what I just said?"

Previously, when Ye Qiu wasn’t present, he spoke ill of Ye Qiu unbridledly, but now looking at Ye Qiu, for some reason, he felt a sense of trepidation and dared not speak recklessly anymore.

Seeing this scene, many people secretly chuckled.
